The Diatessaron Or The History Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ

By John David Macbride

"The Diatessaron Or The History Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ" presents a significant early attempt to harmonize the four canonical Gospels into a single, continuous narrative. Attributed to Tatian, a second-century Assyrian Christian writer, the Diatessaron offers a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. This edition, edited by John David Macbride, provides valuable insights into the textual history and interpretation of the Gospels.

The work weaves together the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, creating a comprehensive biography of Jesus. It showcases early Christian efforts to synthesize and understand the diverse perspectives on Jesus' ministry, passion, and resurrection. For scholars and readers interested in the history of the Bible, early Christian literature, and the development of Gospel traditions, "The Diatessaron" is an indispensable resource. Its historical importance lies in its influence on later Gospel harmonies and its reflection of early Christian theological perspectives.
